1. Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED lens. This is a high-performance Micro lens featuring special Vibration Reduction (VR II) and high-speed Internal Focusing (IF) mechanisms. It also employs a Silent (S) Wave Motor to drive the focusing mechanism.

■ Major features

• At infinity ( ) to 1/30x reproduction ratio, pictures can be taken at shutter speeds approx. 4 stops* slower than is possible without using a VR II lens, thus expanding the range of usable shutter speed options and making shooting without a tripod much easier. (*Under Nikon measurement conditions. The effects of vibration reduction vary depending on individual and shooting conditions.)
• Panning is also possible, as the lens automatically distinguishes panning from camera shake and vibration reduction works effectively.
• Autofocus (A) or manual (M) mode can easily be selected with the Focus mode switch.
• Autofocusing with manual override is provided, allowing instant change from autofocusing to manual focusing.
• More accurate exposure control is possible when this is mounted on a Nikon camera having 3D Matrix Metering capability, because subject distance information is transferred from the lens to the camera body.
• The use of an ED (extra-low dispersion) lens element ensures sharp pictures virtually free of color fringing. Also, by utilizing a 9-blade diaphragm that produces a nearly circular aperture, out-of-focus images in front of or behind the subject are rendered as pleasing blurs.
• The Nano Crystal Coat deposited on some of the lens elements ensures that fine, clear images can be reproduced under any shooting conditions, from the sunny outdoors to spotlighted interior scenes.

■ Important

• Be careful not to soil or damage the CPU contacts ⑨.
• With the TC-20E/TC-20EII/TC-20EIII attached, minimum aperture is limited to within f/90.
• When mounted on Nikon digital SLR (Nikon DX format) cameras, such as the D300-Series and D7000, the lens' picture angle becomes 15^20' and its 35mm equivalent focal length is approx. 157.5mm.
• If the lens mount rubber gasket ⑧ is damaged, be sure to visit the nearest Nikon authorized dealer or service center for repair.
• A total of four Wireless Remote Speedlights SB-R200 can be attached to the front of the lens.

■ Autofocus with manual override (M/A mode)

1 Set the Focus mode switch ⑩ to [M/A].

Note: Be sure to set the switch so that the indicator aligns with [M/A] precisely.

2Autofocus is provided, but you can manually override the focus by operating the separate Focus ring ⑤ while lightly depressing the shutter release button or the AF start (AF-ON) button on the camera.

3To cancel manual override, again lightly depress the shutter release button or the AF start button on the camera. This will return the camera to autofocus mode.

■ To limit the range of autofocus

(For AF cameras compatible with AF-S Nikkor lenses only)

With AF operation, if the subject is always more than 0.5m (1.6 ft) away, set the focusing limit switch ⑪ to [-0.5m] to reduce focusing time.

Indicator M/A M 10 FULL ∞-0.5m

Indicator FULL 0.5m 11

Note: Be sure to set the switch so that the indicator aligns with [-0.5m] precisely.

- If the subject is sometimes 0.5 ~m (1.6 ft) or closer, set it to [FULL].

3. Vibration reduction mode (VR II)

■ Basic concept of vibration reduction

■ The effects of vibration reduction

- When the subject is from infinity ( ) to approx. 3m (9.8 ft) away (at 1/30x reproduction ratio), pictures can be taken at shutter speeds approx. 4 stops* slower than is possible without using a VR II lens. As the reproduction ratio increases from 1/30x, the effects of vibration reduction gradually decrease. (*Under Nikon measurement conditions. The effects of vibration reduction vary depending on individual and shooting conditions.)

■ Setting the vibration reduction ON/OFF switch

1 Set the Vibration reduction ON/OFF switch ⑫ to [ON]. Note: Be sure to set the switch so that the indicator aligns with [ON] precisely.

2Vibration is reduced when the shutter release button is lightly pressed. Because vibration is reduced in the viewfinder, auto/manual focusing and exact framing of the subject are made easier.

3To cancel the vibration reduction mode, set the Vibration reduction ON/OFF switch ⑫to [OFF].

Indicator ON VR OFF ⑫

■ Notes on using vibration reduction mode

- Wait until the image in the viewfinder stops vibrating before fully depressing the shutter release button after you have lightly pressed the shutter release button.

- If you move the camera in a wide arc when panning, vibration in the direction of that movement is not affected. For example, if you pan the camera horizontally, only vibration in the vertical direction is reduced, making smooth pans much easier.

- Due to the characteristics of the vibration reduction mechanism, the image in the viewfinder may become slightly blurred after releasing the shutter. This is not a malfunction.

- Do not turn the camera power OFF or remove the lens from the camera while the vibration reduction mode is in operation. (Otherwise, the lens may emit a chattering noise if the camera is shaken. This is not a malfunction. Turn the camera power ON again to correct this.)

- With cameras featuring a built-in flash, vibration reduction does not function while the built-in flash is charging.

- When the lens is mounted on a tripod, set the vibration reduction ON/OFF switch ⑫ to [OFF]. However, set the switch to [ON] when using a tripod without securing the tripod head, or when using a monopod.

4. Depth of field

The depth-of-field indicators ⑭ are engraved beside the distance index line ⑮. At close distances, however, so little is in focus that it may be better to check the depth of field table (on page 126). If your camera has a depth of field preview button or lever, use it to check the depth of field in the viewfinder.

5. Focusing at a predetermined reproduction ratio

The reproduction ratio is the relation between the size of the image recorded on film and the actual subject size. If, for example, the image on the focusing screen is one-fifth the actual subject size, the reproduction ratio is 1:5.

To photograph at a predetermined reproduction ratio, use the following procedure:

1 Manually turn the focus ring until the desired reproduction ratio scale ⑬ number is aligned with the distance index line ⑮.
2Aim at the subject, then change your position, moving closer to or farther away from the subject, until the image in the viewfinder sharpens.

To obtain the appropriate reproduction ratio for each focused distance, see the table on page 126.

6. Notes on close-up photography and duplication work

Camera shake

The AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED provides such exceptionally high image magnification that even the slightest movement during shooting can cause the image to blur. Be sure to mount the camera on a tripod and use a cable release or remote cord to release the shutter.

Close working distance

At the high reproduction ratios used in close-up shooting, the depth of field is very shallow. To ensure greater depth of field, stop down the lens, then carefully position the camera to ensure the most important surface of the subject is in the same zone of sharp focus.

- Use manual focus when using the close-up lens.

Close-up attachment	Reproduction ratio	Subject field (cm/inch)	Focused distance (cm/inch)
No. 5T 1/6.3	-1.22 15.0 × 22.5	-1.97 × 2.95/ 82.4–28.1/325.9 × 8.9–0.8 × 1.2	.4–11.1
No. 6T 1/3.3	-1.44 8.0 × 12.0	-1.67 × 2.5/ 49.8–26.1/19.63.1 × 4.7–0.7 × 1.0	-10.3
No. 5T + 6T	1/2.2–1.65	5.24 × 7.86–1.45 × 2.18/2.1 × 3.1–0.6 × 0.9	38.1–24.3/15.0–9.6

7. Exposure factor

The f-number of a lens indicates brightness of the image formed by the lens set at "infinity" shooting distance. The higher the reproduction ratio is, the more the brightness of the image will decrease. The actual brightness of the image is called the "effective f-number," and the exposure compensation value for the change of the effective f-number is called the "exposure factor."

8. Effective f-number variation (P. 124)

With this lens, the higher the reproduction ratio is, the more the brightness of the image on the film (image sensing device) will decrease and the effective f-number will increase (the amount of light that comes through the lens' aperture will decrease). This variation is automatically compensated for by the camera's exposure meter, so the user can determine exposure or operate TTL flash shooting without having to consider the exposure factor. The f-number displayed in the camera's LCD panel or viewfinder is the value automatically compensated.

9. Setting the aperture

Set the aperture on the camera body. When exposure (or shooting) mode is set at "A" (Aperture Priority auto) or "M" (manual), the camera will control to maintain the predetermined f-number (up to approx. 1.6 stops) as the effective f-number varies with shooting distance.

10. Using bayonet hood HB-38

■ Attaching the hood

Align the lens hood attachment index ( )② on the hood (either one of the two indexes) with the lens hood mounting index ④on the lens, and turn the lens hood ①clockwise until it click stops to secure.

• Make sure that the lens hood mounting index ④ aligns with the lens hood setting index (—○) ③.
• If the lens hood is not correctly attached, vignetting can occur.
• To facilitate attachment or removal of the hood, hold it by its base (around the lens hood attachment index) rather than its outer edge.
• To store the lens hood, attach it in the reverse position.

■ Detaching the hood

While holding the base of the hood (near the lens hood attachment index) rather than its outer edge, turn it counterclockwise to detach.

11. Flash pictures using cameras with a built-in flash

To prevent vignetting, do not use a lens hood ①.

For F6 cameras, compensate by selecting "Other screen" in Custom Setting "b6: Screen comp." and setting the EV level to -2.0 to +2.0 in 0.5 EV steps. When using screens other than type B or E, "Other screen" must be selected even when the required compensation value is "0" (no compensation required). For F5 cameras, compensate using Custom Setting #18 on the camera body. For F4-Series cameras, compensate using the Exposure Compensation Dial for the focusing screen.

See user's manual of the camera body for more details.

Blank box means not applicable. Since type M screen can be used for both macro photography at a magnification ratio of 1:1 or above and for photomicrography, it has different applications than other screens.

■ Important

• For F5 cameras, only EC-B, EC-E, B, E, J, A, L focusing screens are usable in Matrix Metering.
• When using the B and E focusing screens in cameras other than those listed above, refer to the columns for the B and E screens.

13. Lens care

• Clean the lens surfaces with a blower brush. To remove dirt and smudges, use a soft, clean cotton cloth or lens tissue moistened with ethanol (alcohol) or lens cleaner. Wipe in a circular motion from center to outer edge, taking care not to leave traces or touch other parts of the lens.
• Never use thinner or benzene to clean the lens as this might damage it, result in a fire, or cause health problems.
• To protect the front lens element, an NC filter is available. A lens hood ① also helps protect the front of the lens.
• When storing the lens in its lens case, attach both front and rear caps.
• When the lens will not be used for a long time, store it in a cool, dry place to prevent mold. Also store the lens away from direct sunlight or chemicals such as camphor or naphthalene.
• Do not get water on the lens or drop it in water as this will cause it to rust and malfunction.
• Reinforced plastic is used for certain parts of the lens. To avoid damage, never leave the lens in an excessively hot place.
